_Candahar_: _May the 2nd_, 1839.
"We have seen three changes in the geological structure of the country.
"The Khojah Omrah was chiefly clay slate, and we are now in another
formation, which no one seems to know; but it must be different as the
outlines of the hills are completely changed. We are now 3,500 feet
above the sea. The climate is good, and would be delightful in a good
house, but in tents the thermometer varies from 60 to 98 degrees and even
105 degrees.
"I have got a decent collection of plants, only amounting however to 650
species. The flora continues quite European. I have some of singular
interest. Compositae, Cruciferae, and Gramineae form the bulk of the
vegetation. All fish are very different from those below the Ghats. I
have five or six species of Cyprinidae. One very inimitable fuscous
loach. There are few birds, and fewer quadrupeds; in fact the country is
at a minimum in both these respects."
